I met Matt Homann at last year’s TechShow, and he suggested that he’d be starting a weblog at some point. Fortunately for us, he has — The [non]billable hour. He caught a great article in the New York Times about the perils of hourly billing in the legal profession. This isn’t a new topic for…

Wow. John Alber won this year’s Champion of Technology Award at this month’s LegalTech. He has just published an article at LLRX titled Rethinking ROI: Managing Risks and Rewards in KM Initiatives — which, among other things, demonstrates why he was more than deserving of the award. The article is a terrific look at how…

A friend of mine is running for clerk of the county court, and he’s looking for information about how courts have upgraded or improved their technology. We talked yesterday about RSS and Linux as two places to start, but I’m looking for any and all info I can funnel his way. (I’ve already suggested he…

You know the worst part of Dean withdrawing? The thousands of Dean supporters all over the country who are now spamming every known e-mail address associated with the campaign with their own grand plans for how we can get Dean elected. I admire persistence. And I appreciate the sincerity of the effort. But enough already!…

In reading this fantastic account of a blogger’s one-on-one with President Bush, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of deja vu in Rex’s comments: If George W. Bush could spend 25 minutes chatting with everybody in America like he did with me and five other folks today, he would win any election by a…

Had a great meeting tonight with the campaign manager for Christine Cegelis, who’s running against Henry Hyde this year. If you’ve got a couple bucks to spare and would like to give Mr. Hyde an early (!) retirement, help her out. (And yes, we’ll be spiffing up their site soon.)

I’m about 2/3 of the way through The Book on Bush and have a few observations. It is numbing in its litany of Bush administration miscues. Much of what’s in here you probably have read before — just not all in one place. And certainly not in the detail presented in the book. To be…

For those who are interested, I’ll be posting at changeforamerica.org, the blog Joe Trippi set up last week. Many thanks to Joe for the invite, and please feel free to stop by and leave a comment or two. (Yes, we will be sprucing the site up a bit…)

Will Saletan says he’d rather be Kerry tonight. I’m not so sure I draw that conclusion. Everything fueling Kerry’s rise has been about the momentum. Momentum going into the Iowa caucus. Momentum coming out of Iowa. Momentum built from two wins. Then four. And so on. If Saletan’s analysis is right, then Edwards’s strength among…

As of this evening, the top three candidates (by delegates) are: Kerry: 608 Dean: 201 Edwards: 190 Of Dean’s 201 delegates, I count at least 50 that are super delegates (who can change their vote at any time). Moving forward to Super Tuesday, over 1100 delegates are up for grabs. It appears that Dean is…
